About this place
Abr (=cloud) jungle is one of the oldest and most beautiful jungles in Iran with some rare plants and animal species.
It is located about 50 km north of Shahrood in Semnan province; and is the border of 2 provinces: Semnan and Golestan.
It is called Abr (=cloud) because in most cases it is covered by an ocean of clouds and sometimes it seems the trees are over the clouds.
Abr jungle is part of Hyrcanian ancient forests and a border between 2 ecosystems: semi desert and forest.
Its height above sea level, low temperature in hot season and varied forest trees and plants are essential characteristics of this area.

Cannot tell it's Iran. Similar to my hometown, and some places in China. But really nice view on the mountain top. Dream Like.
